Strange mail since posting here

[Gal]

I gave a 2nd address on 1st post last nite & got a strange
mail today which I blocked. Then I got 1 to my used box
supposedly from friend's family and she said don't open
because she's getting all kinds of viruses. [Norton didn't
pick these up as virus]This had one line encrypted. Got a
2nd to ME "returned" from another address I never heard
of. Opened both / rt. click/properties to get this
info..not actually opened. Deleted both of course. Is
there a connection to this site or coincidence?

It is not this "site" but any newsgroup posting.
If you don't want the problem of nasties harvesting and using your
email address, then please don't post with it (or disguise it)

It is a sad fact of life that not all people are nice.

Thanks. Today I did read on MSN that worms are @ all time
high so guess we're just lucky in being included on the
life-less idiots lists!
